Affixed to this layer is a layer of polycarbonate plastic with a thickness of t = 1.20 mm and an index of refraction of n = 1.55 (see figure (b) below). A laser beam enters this plastic layer from below and is refracted to a width of a = 1.60 μm in order to read the data on a single track. A lens makes the beam converge into a cone with an apex angle 20₁ before it enters the plastic layer, and its width as it enters the layer is w = 0.698 mm.

- To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the cornea—the front surface of the eye. This instrument places an illuminated object of known size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it. The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows a comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement. Determine the radius of curvature of the cornea when p = 34.0 cm and M = 0.0160.arrow_forwardAsaparrow_forwardTo fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the cornea-the front surface of the eye.
